Battle

Uzumaki Hane was explaining ninja battles to her students when she heard this. She looked at Kankuro and, seeing the fighting spirit in his eyes, Uzumaki Hane's heart stirred. She said, "Kankuro, long time no see. Want to have a fight with me?"

Kankuro was taken aback upon hearing this, then immediately replied, "That's right, Uzumaki Hane, ever since I lost to you last time, I've been looking for an opportunity to fight you."

Uzumaki Hane said, "No problem, but I have one condition?"

Kankuro didn't hesitate and said, "What are your conditions?"

Upon hearing this, Uzumaki Hane smiled slightly and said, "It's just a very simple condition: I want my students to watch our battle."

Kankuro looked at the brats and said, "No problem." Although Kankuro still disliked brats, he had grown a lot during this time. Although he was annoyed by being watched by these brats, he didn't say much because he could fight Uzumaki Hane, and immediately agreed.

Uzumaki Hane said to the students, "Alright, everyone go over there and watch how ninjas fight."

The sight of the ninjas fighting excited the kids, who cheered loudly. After a while, they Earth Flow the side.

Kankuro looked at Uzumaki Hane with a solemn expression, not daring to be careless in the slightest. He immediately unleashed his full power, placing the three scrolls behind him on the ground, opening them, and saying, "Uzumaki Hane, let me show you my Puppet Performance." After speaking, he began to Hand Seals. With a series of bangs, three plumes of smoke Kankuro, connected by Chakra Threads.

These three puppets are Crow, Black Ant, and Ibuse, and are Kankuro's puppets. Crow is a humanoid puppet with three eyes and four arms, and Uzumaki Hane once fought against it; Black Ant has demonic red horns and six arms; Ibuse is shaped like a fish.

Crack, crack, crack, the puppet, under Kankuro's control, took a few steps forward.

Kankuro said, "Then I'll begin." Kankuro's fingers twitched slightly, and with a snap, the Crow took a step forward, its arm shooting out towards the Uzumaki Hane.

To demonstrate his Ninjutsu, Uzumaki Hane didn't intend to transform into lava. Instead, he gripped a Kunai, stepped back to avoid the attack, and with a snap, another arm flew out, shooting towards Uzumaki Hane. Uzumaki Hane swung his right hand, using the Kunai to block the attack.

Seeing this, Kankuro's fingers twitched slightly, and with a few clicks, the Crow leaped up and flew quickly towards Uzumaki Hane. In the blink of an eye, it rushed in front of Uzumaki Hane, and its remaining two arms stabbed directly at Uzumaki Hane.

Uzumaki Hane ducked to avoid the arm attack, then spun around and kicked the puppet in the abdomen, sending it flying.

Then, Uzumaki Hane rushed towards Kankuro.

Kankuro's fingers twitched slightly, and the Crow quickly retracted its two arms, returning to Kankuro's front. Several arms then frantically stabbed at the attacking Uzumaki Hane. At the same time, Kankuro retreated, as puppeteers are generally quite fragile, and being caught in close combat would be disastrous.

Uzumaki Hane swiftly swung the Kunai in her hand, deflecting all of the puppet's attacks.

Kankuro shouted, "Let me show you my Puppet Performance!" With a slight movement of his fingers, the two puppets, Crow and Black Ant, rapidly began to spin around the Uzumaki Hane, their speed increasing until, in no time, only afterimages remained.

The students watched the exciting battle between the two, their eyes shining, their little faces filled with excitement.

Suddenly, the high-speed moving puppet opened its mouth and shot out several Kunai. The students saw this dangerous scene and exclaimed in surprise. However, Uzumaki Hane did not care. After being strengthened many times, Uzumaki Hane's body was almost comparable to Might Guy before he opened the Eight Gates Released Formation. A Kunai also appeared in his left hand. His hands turned into afterimages and blocked Kunai.

Suddenly, Uzumaki Hane realized the Black Ant had vanished. Unfazed, Uzumaki Hane quickly scanned her surroundings. Suddenly, an explosion erupted beneath her feet, and the Black Ant Uzumaki Hane's demonic horns shot towards her. Uzumaki Hane was surprised; she hadn't expected the Black Ant to burrow into the ground. She had thought it could only hide in sand. Despite this, Uzumaki Hane moved swiftly, leaping upwards and narrowly avoiding the Black Ant's feet.

Kankuro's lips curled up, and with a slight movement of his hands, the puppet's belly turned upwards, opening its abdomen. Uzumaki Hane fell directly into the puppet's belly, and with a snap, snap, snap, the Black Ant's belly closed up.

The children gasped in surprise, completely bewildered.

Kankuro knew that his hungry puppet probably couldn't bind Uzumaki Hane, so he flicked his fingers and the Crow disintegrated. Its head opened its beak and spat out a sharp blade, which, along with its four arms, charged towards the Black Ant.

Just as the head and arms were flashing with cold light and about to pierce the Black Ant, a loud bang was heard, and the Black Ant's abdomen exploded into countless fragments. Uzumaki Hane stepped out of the puppet, and magma slowly flowed in his right hand, distorting the surrounding air.

Uzumaki Hane said to Kankuro, "It seems you've improved very quickly lately."

Kankuro's fingers twitched slightly, and the Crow's head and four arms rushed towards Uzumaki Hane. Uzumaki Hane's hands blurred into afterimages, blocking all the attacks. At the same time, he waved his hands, and two Kunai turned into two streaks of cold light, instantly rushing in front of Kankuro.

Kankuro was somewhat surprised by the speed of the Kunai, but he remained calm. With a slight movement of his fingers, the Ibuse appeared in front of him, blocking the two Kunai. At the same time, the Crow quickly reformed and flew back to Kankuro.

Uzumaki Hane charged towards Kankuro, Kankuro twitched his fingers slightly, causing the Crow's arm to split open, releasing several arrows that flew rapidly towards Uzumaki Hane. Uzumaki Hane nimbly dodged all the arrows.

Kankuro frowned, Crow and Black Ant scattered, their joints unleashing sharp blades that gleamed with a keen light as they shot towards Uzumaki Hane. Uzumaki Hane produced a Kunai in each hand, which transformed into countless afterimages as he blocked the incoming blades.

At the same time, Uzumaki Hane continued its rapid as it charged toward Kankuro.

Kankuro said, "In that case, behold my Poison Cone Hell. Hundred-Shot Barrage." The Black Ant and the Crow circled the Uzumaki Hane rapidly. Suddenly, their joints cracked, and countless poisonous needles shot out, densely covering the area where the Uzumaki Hane was.

With a Lava Release spell in his right hand, Uzumaki Hane blocked all the incoming poison needles.

Uzumaki Hane said, "Next, it's my turn to attack." He threw a Rock Fist at Kankuro his right hand.

Kankuro's fingers twitched slightly, and the Ibuse appeared in front of Kankuro, its iron plates rising up and blocking Uzumaki Hane. However, the Ibuse was also blasted back a few steps. At this moment, Kankuro noticed that Uzumaki Hane was gone and was startled, thinking to himself, "Oh no."

A Kunai held to Kankuro's neck, Uzumaki Hane's voice came from behind Kankuro: "Kankuro, you've lost."

Kankuro's eyes dimmed; he had lost after all.
